We have something similar going on here in the USA. James Mason, a small Virginia University has made it all of the way through the NCAA bsketball tournament to be among the final 4 teams left playing for the national championship. The field started with 64 teams. The format is one loss and you go home. Along the way, Mason has beaten 3 former national champions including the teams which won the tournament the last two years. The 64 teams are divided into 4 regions, each with 16 teams. In their region, Mason was rated the 11th best team, and in the lower third of the entire field of 64.
